A ride on board of a GN thunderbug (1922) with Mark Walker @ Rétromobile 2017

Au salon Rétromobile 2017, le National Motor Museum de Beaulieu présente en démonstration dynamique 3 voitures de course des années 20, typiques de la production Britannique, dont le GN THUNDERBUG de Mark Walker, étrange voiture à l’allure d’un insecte dressé sur ses roues étroites, l’engin cache bien son jeu! Son capot à bien du mal à contenir un énorme moteur 2 cylindres de 4,2 litres de cylindrée. Sur le circuit, cette bête révèle son tempérament rageur.
Cette GN a été construite dans les ateliers de Godfrey and Archibald Frazer-Nash.

I just love these old British cars and the cycle cars and the Morgans.

Real basic machinery that moves, but it has more life and fun in it than a dozen modern BMW or whatever.

[@flyingmerkel6]

I admire old racers, but this is one I'd like to get in and drive.

[@steveratkaj6994]

All these chaps and their Edwardian cars are such an inspiration. Seem like regular folks. Car design actually needs to go back time to where the driver felt connected to the car. These cars all have immense characteristics that no modem car can ever achieve with all their bells and whistles.

[@frankemerson8584]

It's from 1922 so not Edwardian but Vintage ;).

The only race car to have an RPH gauge, revs per hour.

This is an amazing machine which I have had the pleasure of watching race at Oulton Park on a number of occasions, all the creations of this time were extremely dangerous for the unwary especially on startup with flame coming out of the exhausts.

[@964cuplove]

I love the front brakes (or lack thereof)

[@williamjames9515]

Bit of a rough idle! Thanks for the video.

[@nigelcarren]

Un machine parfait et juste...un peu colère !! (How I like my women) BRAVO 😂🏆

[@andrewt902]

M. Hulot's race car!

[@mothereartha7]

I noticed there’s no front brakes, l hope there’s some somewhere else.

[@GhostOfDamned]
